i have lived a thousand years important qoutes in chapter 12

Therefore, it is claimed, the Bible does not deal with the issue of the age of mankind or even how man came into existence.Īnother reason that a great many Christians think that the age of man and the universe does not matter and that the scientific establishment’s view does not conflict with Scripture is that they or their teachers have been influenced by William Henry Green. They often recite the mantra that “the Bible is not a science textbook” (thereby confusing the vital difference between origin science and operation science, as discussed in this book’s introduction). They have just assumed that the scientists have proven the age of the creation to be billions of years and the age of mankind to be many tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Can we harmonize that with the teaching of God’s Word? Today, many Christians, including many leaders and scholars, think they can.įrom my reading and interaction with old-earth creationists of all varieties in 25 countries over the last 35 years, I think one reason many of them think they can harmonize the two is that they have not paid very careful attention to the relevant biblical texts. When did Adam come into existence? Evolutionists say Homo sapiens came into existence 200,000 to 400,000 years ago (depending on which evolutionist you consult, because they do not all agree on what a Homo sapiens is).

This chapter is from the book Searching for Adam, available in our online store.
